Not even asking what those other tabs are kekw did you restart the whole printer and tried again? checked the connection of the hotend cables is good? if yes - disconnect the connector and measure the resistance!

You need to measure from one lead to the other, or even better, from one of the contact patches on the heater to the other patch the cables have to be disconnected in any case

@seriosha ok will do that did that and same thing I got 0 to 0.3ohm

That's bad unfortunately. If you do the Math - the Heating Element is rated at ?105Watts? at 24V that means you should measure UĀ²/P = R Ohms, so about 5,5 Ohms. 0 to 0.3 Ohms basically means that your heater shorted out

What do you get only from pad to pad on the heater itself? And checking everything down the line to the board after having a short is a good thing anyway šŸ‘

from pad to pad pn the ceramic block 6.1

@seriosha i have no clue. i restarted it for the 10th time(probably changed something that i cant remember)and then it worked, but now my prints have theese weird layer lines.

that's a new help thread i guess šŸ˜… But if you printed well before. you should of course look into what changed. easier said than done ofc, but this looks mechanical

yeah I'm going to try to fix it on my own first
